Two men have been charged with fatally shooting three men Friday night in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.
Timothy Gorden, 19, and 21-year-old Jayden Dorsey both face three counts of first-degree murder, according to Chicago Police.
About 8:50 p.m. Friday, two men were shot as they stood on the porch of a building in the 5700 block of South Wells, police said. Those men — ages 30 and 50 — were each shot in the chest and legs when two males walked up to them and opened fire. The gunmen then got into a white vehicle and drove away.
The older man was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The younger man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died. The Cook County medical examiner’s office has not released their names.
The next day, 52-year-old John Hunter was found shot inside his apartment in the building, police and the medical examiner’s office said. He was pronounced dead at his home at 12:27 p.m. An autopsy Sunday found Hunter died of a gunshot wound to the pelvis
A police source said he was apparently a third victim in the shooting the night before and was discovered when a relative gained entry to the apartment on Saturday.
Detectives did not force entry into the home the night of the shooting because the door was locked and there was no indication of another victim inside, the source said.
With the help of the police helicopter, officers were able to track Dorsey and Gorden, who were both arrested shortly before 9 p.m. Friday in the 100 block West 66th Street, police said. Dorsey lives in Englewood, while Gorden lives in south suburban Glenwood.
They are scheduled for a Monday bond hearing.
Northwestern Memorial Hospital is all the way up to the North Side/Golden Mile, while Univ. of Chicago is merely about 1 mile away. I wonder why they took him there?
Dunno ... I bet he didn’t have insurance. Should have drank some hot cocoa with Pajamaboy.
A slow Friday in the South Side.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Chicongo is up to 354 homicides this year, ahead of last year’s pace. I had hoped that the idiocy would slack off a bit, but that’s just not happening. Maybe if they could clear more than 13% of their homicides it would help ...
I was led to believe that black lives mattered....obviously not as 100 shootings in Chicago this weekend with 16 dead.....sigh!!!
I guessed the background correctly.
And now they will have the prerequisite t-shirt, teddy bears, and balloon sales, and another preacher will get on local TV talking about having a march against the violence (which many times has someone get killed at), and nothing. will. have. changed.
The most dangerous person in the world is one that already considers themselves dead, has no empathy for others, and willing to export violence on others with little to no provocation.
Having a march “for belief in the Lord” would make a lot more sense than a “march against the violence.” One’s supernatural and powerful; the other is earthly and manifestly impotent.
Then the preachers would be preaching the things God wanted them to.
I guess the two killers won’t be getting their Malcolm X College scholarships for this Fall but the Un. of Chicago will probably step right in with tuition, room and board to fill the gap.
Sons of Rahm Emanuel, no doubt!
I’m sure the Chicago PD is up against the “snitches get stitches” culture, combined with the #BLM anti-police brainwashing that Obama et al have helped advance nationally. Until the black community gets some real leadership to start reversing these trends, I don’t see it getting better.
